AnimalsAbout the words The animals in this collection have been chosen for how common the terms are and how they have come up while teach-ing my students. There are loads and loads of other animals I’d love to include here, there are incredible numbers and varieties of animals in the world. I’ve tried to include some insects and sea creatures here. If the set eventually grows larger, I might separate it into smaller groups like fish and seagoing creatures or farm animals etc. Who is this sheet for? These cards are for any students who want to talk about the fuzzy, sometimes creepy crawly creatures all around us. I’ve used them with students to lighten up our regular conversations by adding one or two images into an activity. I’ve also used them to talk about endangered species like the tiger and gorilla and used the Dodo bird as an example of an extinct species. Using the worksheetThere are countless ways to use cards in classes. Games of memory, matching games, and games where kids run to the card or throw the card into a hat for a point. As long as you are active and fun and the kids are enjoying themselves you’re going to have a great time and they are too. Make sure you and your students say the words again and again and speak, make sentences so everyone can hear and say the sentences in context. Note: Kids have a way of destroying cards they get hold of, so after printing the cards you might want to laminate them and remember to round off the edges so no one gets a sharp card in the eye. If you do it well enough this opens up the usage of the cards for a few good games where you can flick or flip the cards to be more active.
